INDIANAPOLIS - The UIndy women's soccer team fell in at home against the Southwest Baptist University Bearcats 2-1.

The UIndy offense showed creation early, utilizing the midfield with threatening the Bearcat defense. Frannie Poulos, Emma Simpson and Emily DeWitt were among the early contributors to the UIndy offense, playing a major role in advancing the ball into the Bearcat half through the first 20 minutes.

The most dangerous opportunity early for UIndy came off the right foot of DeWitt as she nearly snuck a shot past the Southwest Baptist keeper, but the crossbar denied her attempt in the 13th minute.

Simpson tried to follow up the attempt with a shot of her own, but that was also stopped, this time by the Bearcat keeper.

The Greyhounds found consistent possession over the next few minutes before Southwest Baptist found a chance in the 24th minute that they converted.

For the remainder of the first half each side traded possession with neither team finding anything to challenge the opponent's keeper.

Just over 10 minutes into the second half the Greyhounds conceded the second goal of the game, falling 2-0.

After the two-goal deficit developed UIndy picked up the intensity offensively and eventually found an equalizer off a precise strike from distance, courtesy of Nicole Schroeder for her first of the season.

The goal reenergized the Hounds, but due to costly offsides calls the Greyhounds ran out of time to find their equalizer.

The ladies will return to action Wednesday when they return home at 12 p.m. to take on Maryville.
